    Nest of Fearties #29: The End of The Starmer Project?

    Keir Starmer announced his resignation as British Prime Minister on the 22nd of June 2026. Less than two years after securing a historic majority in the House of Commons, Starmer stood down to make way for Britian’s 7th PM in 10 years. He will be the shortest-serving PM in Labour history. At home, Keir Starmer promised national renewal but only managed decline – welfare was cut, pensioners left cold and our hard-won right to protest curtailed.  Welcome legislation – the Employment Rights Act, extended rights for renters and the partial nationalisation of the rail network – was lost amidst the Government’s apparent contempt for society's most vulnerable.  Abroad, Keir Starmer aided and abetted Israel’s genocide in Palestine, accelerating the flow of military equipment from London to Tel Aviv. He bowed to Donald Trump and built the foundations of the now ascendent war economy – a new force, as John Healey’s resignation indicated, he ultimately could not control.  This was the essence of the Starmer project. To talk about it, Coll McCail is joined on Nest of Fearties by  Matt Kerr and Jonathon Shafi.  Matt is the Morning Star’s Scotland reporter and a Glasgow Labour Councillor. Jonathan is the editor of Conter and a regular columnist with the National. He also writes the Independence Captured newsletter, where he has written about the implications of Starmer’s resignation.

    Nest of Fearties #28: Scotland and the Nuclear Question

    Six out of nine nuclear-armed states engaged in military action last year alone. Meanwhile, reckless nuclear threats are being made more frequently, and cornerstone nuclear arms agreements are expiring. So what role does Scotland, and the nuclear-armed UK, play in this increasingly unstable world? What does the UK’s nuclear weapons programme consist of and how has it changed over the years? How much does the UK really depend on the United States to sustain its nuclear-armed status? And are we already in a new Cold War? On Nest of Fearties, Samuel Rafanell-Williams puts these questions to Sophie Bolt and Nick Ritchie. Sophie Bolt is General Secretary of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament or CND, which is probably the world’s longest-running civic campaign against nuclear weapons, having been launched in the late 1950s. Nick Ritchie is a Professor in International Security at the University of York and a leading researcher in US and UK nuclear weapons policy. His recent work includes research on the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, as well as irreversibility in nuclear disarmament efforts. Support Skotia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
